In a town in India, there lived a man who was not happy with his life. One day, he heard a saint was coming to his town, and he decided to go see the saint to discuss his problem.
He said, Baba, I am very unhappy with my life. I am surrounded by problems all the time. Health problems, work problems, problems at home… Please tell me a way to end all these problems and live a peaceful, happy life. The saint smiled and said, “Son, I will give you a solution tomorrow morning. But first, can you do me a favor?” The man agreed. The saint said,” There are one hundred camels in our convoy. I want you to take care of them. When all 100 camels sit down and rest, then you can go to sleep too. The saint then went to his tent and the man began looking after the camels. The next morning the saint went to the man and asked, “Son, did you have a good sleep last night?” The man became sad and replied, “Baba, I couldn’t sleep for a moment. I tried very hard but could not get all the camels to sit down together at the same time. Some sat down themselves, but others wouldn’t sit, and if one sat, the other one got up. The saint smiled and said, “So this is what happened? There were many camels that sat themselves down. Others sat because of your efforts. Others didn’t sit, even after trying to make them sit. Some, when they were ready, in time, sat themselves down. The man replied YES YES, that’s it! AHHH. So how do I solve this problem?
So this is what happened to you last night? There were many camels. Some sat by themselves, some, no matter how hard you tried, would not sit down, and you saw that after you left, some of them sat down on their own. Understand this. The problems we have are similar. Some resolve on their own and some get solved by your effort. Some do not get solved no matter how hard you try. Leave these problems to resolve in their own time. There will always be problems. But this does not mean that you keep thinking about them all day. If that happens, then the caretaker of the camel never sleeps. Put your problems aside and enjoy life
